When the case came on, Chittenden accordingly appeared and as the note ft was signed by a witness who lived at a distance, he got up and denied the sig nature, knowing that the witness could not be prodnced during the session, and he should ihus obtain the delay his client wished. The denial of the signature therefore was a mere finesse, and perfectly nnderstood by the court; but Allen chanced to be in the court house at the time, and be viewed the matter in a more serious light. Rush ing up to the bar of tlie court, nd clinching his gigantic fists, he made the following address: "Lawyer Chit tenden.' 1 did not employ you iocome hear and tell a bear faced lie! I did sign the note, and I 'won't deny it. nay it please your honors! that's the signature, and that's a good note. I honestly owe the money, and mean honestly to pay it.

That it has defects, no one can deny. Some, if not U, of the circuit are too large, requiring great mental and bodily labor in the Judges) holding the courts, and allow ing too little time to do the business before those tribunals. The conven ience of,the people and a regard to jus tice, require that some alterations should be made whether new ar rangement of those now existing, or the establishment of one or more ad -j ditional circuits would remedy the evil, is for you to determine. As referring to this subject I transmit herewith the memorial of a committee of the mem bers of the bar of the 6th judicial cir cuit (marked A.) addressed to the Le gislature. The memorial was sent to me with a request that I would lay it before you. -.' , .

In making this remark, I do not mean to pass a sentence of universal condemna tion, fur I believe tiiany useful toads, if not other works, have been construc ted, although a very great portion til the money has been most un profitably spent. " At the Treasury Department of the State, during the last fiscal year, there has bi-en received from all sources, the sum of 858G.41C.24, viz: from the loan ejected under the provisions of an act passed at the last Session of the General Assembly, 8400.000, from taxes g"l, 582.85. &from Rank divi dends, &c. 8115,033.59. The dis- bnrsements for the same period, inclu ding the payments lor Hank Slock, a mounted to 8589,036.02; waking a de ficiency of g2.670.38. For severeral years the disbursements have been more than the receipts. This has ari sen, it is believed,- from the want of a proper assessment of lands in the State. The present mode of valuation, oper atcs most unequally, the conscie tious paying their full quota, if not more. while th less scrupulous evade the payment of their just proportion of the tat. That part of the revenue system relating to the assessment bt lands re quires amendment, and t recommend it to your consideration.

Since the close of the last session of the (iencial Assembly, a treaty has been concluded with tue Cherokee tj iTiaus; by which; their title to the ter ritory now in their occupancy, has been extinguished. A ptirt of which territory, is the domain and property ol this State. A copy of the ttealv (maiked accompanies this com munication. Ihe Congress if' the United States, at its last sessinn, passed an act, enti tled "an act to regulate the diDosiles of ihe public money," which was ap proved by the President of the United S'ntes, junc 23d, I BSC This act stipulates that a portion of the treasure of ihe United States shall be deposited with the States. Congress ccitainlv possesses the power Jo pro tide lor the M'ftfccepli'fj as the language and the title of lie act only provide for such purpose it is con slitutioual. But if it is the inteiilioiiXi,,e2i,,la,a,f "ft lie following Slates, ol the oct, as it -is -avowed to be. by some of those most active in procuring its enactment, to distribute gratuitous ly the money, it would be unconslilu initial, there being no power given to Congress, to make donations of the funds of the federal government or otherwise to dispose of them, than to cany into execution some other power granted. It would be uncharitable in us to supposc.that Congress, under pre tence of executing n Constitutional. power, intended; a direct violation of the instrument to which it owes its ex istence. We must, therefore, consid er tin act as being what it purports to be.

The investment of the money, upon unques tionable security, would nut on y pro vide for its safety and return when de manded, but would enable the State to use the interest accruing from it. ei ther for the purpose of diffusing edu cation among the people, or to some oiher object.

Did the people author ire the compromise? It is but on act of Congress, w hich, like all others, ran bo altered or repealed by the legisla tive power.

Shall it still remain, to take from the earnings of their la bor, to heap up a treasure hereafter to be squ ndered and hrown aw ay Oru! ed to corrupt them ? or shall it be so modified by their Representatives, as to adapt it to the legitimate expenses of the government?
